Areas We Serve
Braces, Invisalign and early evaluations for children, teens and adults from Pembroke Pines, at our single office in Weston.
Pembroke Pines, Florida
In a city the size of Pembroke Pines, orthodontic care is often one more appointment to fit between school pickup, practice and work. That makes planning as important as the appliance: what happens at each visit, how often visits are needed, and what a question between appointments actually requires.
Pembroke Pines is one of the communities we welcome to our Weston office. There is one location, one team and one orthodontist, so your child's treatment is not handed between offices as they grow, and the reasoning behind each phase stays with the person who planned it.
Treatment Options
Most Pembroke Pines families arrive with one of four questions. The answer to each depends on the examination, and none of them requires deciding on an appliance before anyone has looked at the bite.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first check no later than age seven. For many children the outcome is monitoring rather than treatment, but the visit establishes what is developing and when to look again.
Interceptive orthodonticsFixed braces keep moving teeth between appointments, which suits a teenager whose week is already spoken for. They also give the orthodontist direct control over individual movements in a way that does not depend on daily cooperation.
Braces in WestonClear aligners are removable and unobtrusive, which is why older teenagers and adults often ask about them first. They work when the wear schedule is realistic for the person wearing them, and that is part of the consultation conversation.
Invisalign clear alignersSome adults were never treated; others watched their teeth shift years after braces. Adult orthodontics accounts for existing dental work and gum health, and it can be planned around a working schedule.

Your Consultation
Every consultation follows the same careful sequence, whether the patient is six or sixty. Nothing is decided before the examination, and nothing begins before your questions are answered.
We start with what brought you in: what you have noticed, what you hope could change, and anything a dentist has already mentioned. For a child, that conversation includes the parent.
Dr. Caldas examines the teeth, the bite and how the jaws relate. For younger patients, eruption and growth are part of that assessment.
Photographs, imaging or a scan may be taken so the orthodontic picture is documented rather than estimated, and so movement can be planned and measured.
You hear what treatment could address, which options fit your case, and what the alternatives are, including monitoring. You leave understanding the recommendation and its reasoning.
If you would rather not book an appointment yet, the free smile consultation is a lighter first step: send three photographs, Dr. Caldas reviews them, and we reply with clear next steps.

Families with school-age children usually want the practical picture before they commit: which hours are available, whether a small question needs an appointment at all, and how many visits a phase of treatment involves. Appointments run through weekday office hours, with Saturdays open until 2pm, and the office can be reached by phone or email in between.
